WordPress Auto-updates

Description

The purpose of this plugin is to prepare a future Plugins & Themes automatic updates feature.

Please note that the code of this plugin is not meant to land in WordPress Core “as it is”, its code will be completely reworked for core merge. This plugin is meant to discuss auto-updates principles and user interface.

In 2018, Matt Mullenweg posted 9 projects for Core to focus on in 2019. We didn’t ship as many as hoped, but we made a lot of progress. Plugins and Themes Automatic Updates were one of those 9 projects. This project is now milestoned to WordPress 5.5 and this feature plugin is here to help move towards this achievement.

Reviews

It works in all my hosts, even in siteground where there is an in-house auto-update (which I dont like at all). After havin tried all other plugins on the market, I finally choose yours guys, and It DOES the needed work ... such a relief.

I have tried this plugin, it will automatically update the WordPress plugin and theme as soon as the new version is available. Although this feature will available by default in a future version of WordPress (may be from 5.5 & 5.6). Till than wordpress lover should try this plugin.

Interested in development?
